turn off system restore on all drives except C:

[Rico.JohnnY]

How to achieve that during an unattended setup of winxp pro

[neophyte]

Try using this VB script that another forum member here graciously helped me out with...

Dim SRP, eSRP
Set SRP = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:SystemRestore")
eSRP = SRP.disable("D:\")

Replace "D:\" with whatever drive you wish to disable system restore on (you must also keep the quotes).

You can also re-enable it by changing SRP.disable to SRP.enable

You can't use this during the actual installation process, but you can use it during GUIRUNONCE/EX.

Just copy+paste it into notepad and save it with the .vbs extension (making sure not to save it as .vbs.txt)

Or to search through all and turn off except C

Save this as

SysRestoreOff.vbs

Const DriveTypeRemovable = 1
Const DriveTypeFixed = 2
Const DriveTypeNetwork = 3
Const DriveTypeCDROM = 4
Const DriveTypeRAMDisk = 5

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Drives = FSO.Drives
For each Drive in Drives
 If Drive.DriveType = 2 then
  If Drive = "C:" then
  Else
  Target Drive
  End if
 End if
Next

Sub Target(Drive)
  Dim SRP, eSRP
  Set SRP = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:SystemRestore")
  eSRP = SRP.disable(Drive & "\")
  Set SRP = Nothing
  Set eSRP = Nothing
End Sub

Set FSO = Nothing
Set Drives = Nothing
